Hi, I was just wondering if there was any way to use all of the cool mb mouse keyboard features in windows, like 1 finger for left click 2 for right click, and 2 finger scroll

I thought the Macintosh drivers Cd that boot camp had you make did this?

torifile · 2006-11-05, 19:28

2 finger scroll works for me. I don't remember about 2 finger right clicking. I think that works too. Did you install the bootcamp drivers?

chucker · 2006-11-05, 19:28

No. The Boot Camp drivers currently have no two-finger scroll and two-finger right-click support.

Wait, what? When was this added?

The latest update features:

Boot Camp 1.1.2 beta includes:
Support for the latest Intel-based Macintosh computers
Easier partitioning using presets for popular sizes
Ability to install Windows XP on any internal disk
Support for built-in iSight cameras
Support for built-in microphones
Support for the Apple USB Modem
Trackpad scrolling and right-click support on Apple Laptops
Improved Apple keyboard support including Delete, PrintScreen, NumLock, and ScrollLock keys

i don't know if that covers what Dr. Phile speaks of however.

How interesting!

Wonder if that can be made to work on Vista.

Bryson · 2006-11-05, 19:45

Thought I wasn't going totally nuts!

halfassed · 2006-11-06, 18:49

how do you turn it on

Brad · 2006-11-06, 19:09

Did you download and install the latest Boot Camp drivers?

chucker · 2006-11-06, 19:23

Still doesn't work in Vista, grr.

So I wasn't getting confused with my use of Parallels in full screen? Phew! That's a relief.

I've only ever booted into in Windows with BC twice to play guild wars and it was too slow to make it worthwhile. Parallels is so fast I forget that I'm not booted into XP.

Which begs the question: is BC even necessary on a MacBook? The integrated video makes gaming an exercise in frustration and for every other purpose, Parallels rocks.

Boot Camp is free.

Parallels is US$80 (read: not free).

Need I say more?

I know you know this, Brad, but some others may not.

Yeah, I got that part. I mean other than having to buy a license for Parallels (which can be found for $50 if you wait for the occasional sale at CompUSA).
